More Voices from Around the Country - Blogger Network Announced

Over the past several years, FreedomWorks has worked with a number of social media activists, bloggers and online warriors as part of our comprehensive effort to share the message of "Lower taxes, less government, and more freedom."

We've offered many of these talented individuals the training and support necessary to become a more prominent and effective voice in this movement. Now we're offering a few select bloggers something else: another platform to share their great work!

I am excited to announce the first five contributors to the FreedomWorks blogger network. These individuals come to us from across the country and have proven time and again to be a friend of liberty and willing to take on the battles that lie ahead.

Please help me welcome them!

Obviously if we lose the youth, we lose the battle -- and this is another step in the right direction. I have put a blog on the website I launched just yesterday: www.wethepeoplegame.com - let me know what you guys think.

On today’s edition of The FreedomCast, my producer Brad Jackson hijacks my podcast to interview me about BlogCon2013, the importance of bloggers and how FreedomWorks has embraced the new media movement.

It was 4:45am pacific time and my phone rang. I didn't even open my eyes to see who was calling but I answered. The voice on the other end was somber, "Kristina, you're going to read and hear that Breitbart is dead. It's not a joke, and I'm so sorry my friend." I sobbed. Not only for the friend I had lost, but for the leader I knew could never be replaced.

Government goes to those who show up, right? We've learned that we can't go to sleep and expect our nation to survive. Those with a penchant to support overbearing government programs to solve every societal ill never rest. Those of us who want to rein in government spending and fight for individual liberty cannot rest either. To limit government and keep it honest, we can't start at the top. We have to start at the bottom, at the most local level, where the trouble often starts. The best place to start saving the country is right where you are. Local government controls much of what you and your family does on a daily basis. Whether it's water rights, local taxes, street signage or the curriculum being taught in your schools, you should have a voice and be involved. Find your passion and get busy. There are some activities that are easy to start doing that can produce immediate results, and give you a great sense of accomplishment along the way.

FreedomWorks held another of its successful FreePAC grassroots activism events October 19, this time in Kissimmee, Florida, near Orlando. Freedom-loving activists from around the region came to learn the basics of getting out the vote (GOTV) and to be inspired by great speeches. The highlight for this jaded blogger is getting to meet the heroes of the movement.

When the Tea Party emerged on the national scene in early 2009, pundits, politicos and the entrenched party establishment questioned whether or not these newly engaged activists would have a lasting affect on the political process.
So, much like we did with our "Tea Party Debt Commission", we went to our over 1.8 million activists and supporters to find out what direction they wanted the GOP to head. What was important to them when it came to the future of the Republican Party?

This past weekend as over 16,000 freedom loving activists gathered in Dallas for FreePAC, the main stream media chose once again to largely ignore the Tea Party event and its supporters. Much like 2009, when media outlets ignored over one million activists gathered on the Capitol Mall, coverage of this event was ultimately left to alternative media instead. This is not surprising to many of us who have been active in this movement since its inception. If they don't report it, it didn't happen. I mean the Tea Party is dead, right?

The harassment of conservative bloggers has been in the news quite a bit lately, and for good reason. The story has been covered at FreedomWorks previously, and in the month since, the situation has gotten worse.

With the Supreme Court decision on ObamaCare looming and the continued unpopularity of the bill, our activists want to know what can be done at a state level to stop the implementation of this overreaching legislation.
We've put together a fantastic panel of health care policy experts and we'll be offering you the opportunity to ask them specific questions as to how we can stop Obamacare. This live blogging event is free and open to anyone who is interested in taking direct action to stop ObamaCare.
Our panel of experts include:
